You know when you repeatedly look in the refrigerator looking for something good to eat, and each time you look there is nothing? You look anyway though, right? Even though it’s only been five minutes. You still look knowing nothing has changed. Call it optimism, call it crazy, call it hoping for a miracle. Well, that’s exactly what happened this morning. A miracle. I was making breakfast for hubby (I do this as a compromise, so I don’t have to make dinner) and I was fetching another ingredient from the fridge. I had already been in the fridge three or four times, so I wasn’t really expecting anything new. I didn’t even have any hope for something new. It was when I pushed the lettuce aside that I saw it. A little creme brulee. My mother in law had given us four or five of these individual desserts two weeks ago and one got lost behind the lettuce. Either that, or I hid it back there and forgot about it. That’s a definite possibility. I froze. Hubby was right behind me, and if I gave any indication that I found it, I would have to share. For once in my life I didn’t scream. Today, silence is golden.
